'HOLDERANID SPREADER FOR MUCILAGINOUS MAT RIAL.

To all wfiom z'tmay concern: i r Beit known that I, GEORGE P. BRENNER, a citizen of theUnited States,'andresident of- Milwaukee, .inthecounty of Milwaukee. and State of WVisconsimjhave invented oer} tainnew anduseful Improvements in- Holdersv and, Spreaders 1 for Mucilaginous Mate rial; and Ldo herebyldejclare thattheffollowing is a full, clear, and exact descr1ption thereof.

My lnventlon 0011515135 in what is hereln particularly set forth with reference to the spreader-holder in accordance with my invention having a removable cap covering the discharge and spreading end thereof; Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same partly in section; Fig. 3, a partly'secti'onal view of a fragment of the holder on the plane indicated by line 3-3 in Fig. 4:, which Fig. 4t represents a partly sectional front elevation of the same .fragment, said Figs. 3 and 4 being upon a larger scale than Figs. 1 and 2, andFig. 5 is a view illustrating the primarily transverse form of a flexible sealing and spreading strip forming part of said holder. 7 7

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 5 indicates a rectangular shell, preferably formed of flexible material and 6 a sealing-plug in screw-thread engagement with a filling aperture with which one end of the shell is provided. The rear of the other end of the shell is necessarily beveled,and it is preferable to bevel the front and sides of said shell at the same end. The front of the shell, at its beveled end is folded, as best shown in Fig. 3, to provide a socket and the inner wall 7 thereof having a central discharge orifice 8 therein, adjacent to its lower end. The orifice is normally sealed by a flexible strip 9 having the upper portion thereof engaging said socket, the fold 10 of the front of the shell is far enough back of the lower edge ofsaid shell to permit of outward yield of said strip, under pressure. The exposed edge of the strip is beveled to be flush with the rear bevel of Specification of Letters Patent.

the. shell below which said strip extends to. seal the diswhen in normal, position chargeorifice of said shell.

d v Patented Feb.8 1916; Application filed Novemberj20,.i91 4; "S eria1No.'873;121;' I i 1 Ann o 9 v In practice, the shell is held so'as to have. I

the lower bevel edge of the sealing-strip9 therewith-contact the material to which mucilaginous contents of said shellare to be applied. As the result'ofa'backward draw. of the shell, the sealing-strip 9 is moved away from the orifice 8 of the shell-- wall 7 as shown'by dottedlinesinFig- 3,.

and by pressure on said. shell some of. its contents are caused to 'be discharged for spreading by said strip. Whenxthe spreadlng operation takes place, the pressure on the shell is'sufliciently relaxed to permitv re v.turnrof the free end of the sealing-strip to normal position over the discharge orifice of the shell and drying of mucilaginous ma terial on said strip and shell insures sealing of said orifice.

By having the discharge end of the shell beveled on all. sides, it will clear any surface upon which said shell is laid, any side of a circle, asshown in Fig. 5; By insertion of the strip 9 in the socket provided there- "for, it is straightened out against the wall 7 of the shell, and the contractive tendency of its free endinsures automatic return of the same to sealing position as soon as opportunity is afforded after having been moved away from said position by manipulation of the spreader-holder asaforesaid.

I claim: 1. A mucilaginous material holder and spreader comprising a flexible shell having pered filling aperture and a beveled angular.

discharge end provided with a spreader seat,

a wall in said. end of theshell provided with a discharge orifice, and a flexible spreading strlp normally sealing said orifice, the upper portion of the otherwise free strip being held to said shell against said wall of the same.

2. An adhesive material holder and spreader comprising a flexible shell having a discharge end that is beveled, the material of the shell at the beveled discharge end being folded to provide a doubled outer wall that is parallel and spaced from the beveled surface to form a spreader socket, the outer wall being shorter than the inner 1 wall. of the socket, and said inner wall being provided with a discharge opening adjacent the open end of the socket, and a flexible spreader mounted in the socket and nor- Copies of this patent may be obtained for and a flexible sealing-strip for said orifice, the upper portion of the otherwise free strip bein in en a ement with said socket. b D b 4. A holder and spreader for adhesive material comprising a receptacle having a flat discharge portion provided with an outlet, the discharge portion above said outlet being provided with a socket, and a spreader formed of a strip of flexible material that is curved on an arczof a circle and has one portion thereof seated in the socket and normally held by its engagement with the socket 'so that the spreader will be held flat and in position to lie firmly on the flat discharge end of the receptacle to seal the discharge opening therein.

In testimony :that'I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at 'lllilwaukee in the county of Milwaukee and State of l/Visconsin in' the presence of two witnesses.
